Workin' 9-5

Or more like 9-7ish. Today was ok. Not too terrible or busy, just enough to get through the day. We did end the day with an emergency that was not a nice outcome. A 15 week old puppy had been hit by a car, driven by the owner. The dog was called Lucky because the mom and all the litter mates had been killed in a fire several weeks prior. Not so much lucky today. Her left femur was fractured, which on its own is not too terrible-it can be pricey but is an easy fix, not a death sentence on its own- but her pelvis was also fractured on the left side and pushed totally out of place. No easy fix for that and very very expensive. We would have to have an orthopedic specialist come in to do the procedure. The owner decided to euthanize since money was not available for the needed surgeries. It was a crappy way to finish the day. Now I am home and fed. Have had a chance to talk to my Sis briefly and get my comfy clothes on. Now it is time for the Tour of Cali that we DVR'd and then bed after a while.
